Why You Need a Temporary Boater's License
Before you hit the waves with one of our jet skis, it's essential to obtain a temporary Florida boater's license. This certification ensures that you understand the safety regulations and operational guidelines necessary for a fun and safe experience on the water. Not only is it a requirement for renting a jet ski, but it also helps protect you and your fellow riders. The process is quick and straightforward, allowing you to focus on enjoying your adventure in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, etc.
How Do I Get My Temporary Boater's License?
You can easily obtain your temporary Florida boater's license online. Simply visit the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's website here, where you'll find all the necessary information and resources to complete the certification process. Make sure to have your identification ready, as it will be required during the application.
Is There a Fee for the License?
Yes, there is a small fee associated with obtaining your temporary boater's license. This fee helps cover the costs of processing your application and maintaining safety standards on Florida's waterways. There are a few websites recommended through FWC to obtain the certificate and they range from $9.99 to $15.
How Long is the License Valid?
The temporary boater's license is valid for 90 days from the date of issuance. This gives you plenty of time to enjoy multiple jet ski rentals during your stay in Florida.
What If I Already Have a Boater's License?
If you already possess a valid boater's license from another state or country, you may not need to obtain a temporary license. However, it's always best to check with our team to ensure you meet all requirements before renting.
